Here is my 505 McCracken 2 evenings ago inside the now covered "Pumpkin Dome". The row covering suffered a little damage over the weekend as we had some high winds, and I now know a few flaws in the structure that caused a few holes in the cover. Tiny holes I'm not worried about - I learned last year that insects are very unlikely to find their way through a small hole. Two larger holes developed at the peak of the structure at each end, which has prompted me to learn how to sew! Using a needle and fishing line, I was able to patch one hole last night with a new piece of row cover and I will fix the other hole today.
